Ew. Horrible choice.
I dunno. I like the song somewhat, but there's so many better tracks on the album.

It's among the better half of the album, but barely. I imagine this will grow on me, assuming it at least gets posted to stream on All Access, if nothing else.

Wow... After reading the posts to this thread I wasn't too interested in getting to this.....and now that I finally have I'm PISSED.....my ears were having an orgasm I liked it so much. I'm not sure why there isn't love for this but I know its gonna be on repeat for a while for me. Nick....if you are right ( I haven't gotten to the whole album yet) and this is barely on the better half, then the other songs I'm missing will probably put me in a coma, lol.

I'm not sure why there isn't love for this but I know its gonna be on repeat for a while for me. Awesome news. :) Nick....if you are right ( I haven't gotten to the whole album yet) and this is barely on the better half, then the other songs I'm missing will probably put me in a coma, lol. I doubt you'll be in full agreement with me. For what it's worth, though, my two favorites on the album are easily "You Were the King..." and "Insatiable." When I gave the record my definitive listen back in late November or early December my rankings went like this (obviously the single strategy could alter it over time): 01. You Were the King, Now You're Unconscious 02. Insatiable 03. Storm to Pass 04. Bravery [deluxe version bonus track] 05. Bleeding Is a Luxury 06. So Wrong 07. Lonely 08. Congregation of the Damned 09. Wait for You 10. Coffin Nails 11. Ravenous 12. Stop! Before It's Too Late and We've Destroyed It All 13. We Are the Living Dead [deluxe version bonus track] 14. Gallows 15. Black Days Begin

I will try to get to the full album. I did listen to the first two songs you listed as your faves.
You Were The King is very good. It has a couple down moments for me though, like when the vocals start, for some reason doesn't quite gel right away for me but settles in nicely. The intro is great.
Insatiable is a little more generic to me. Not quite the love for that one yet...but it has only been a couple listens.
I don't know, I have to disagree and say that "Lonely" screamed radio single to me as soon as I heard it. People will like songs for different reasons of course but this one has the feel of the most mass appeal.

Just a low-budget video diary, but since it was filmed in Japan(?), it was really neat to see, for as big a fan of theirs as I am. Thanks, duder.

Still very disappointed in this choice. I was more disappointed in the album. There's nothing more radio friendly than "Lonely" so, it's not exactly a suprising selection.

i think that something is going wrong with that era, i liked so much storm to pass, it peaked at #20, lower from their previous album's 3rd single "slowburn"

I guess COTD is a bit of a disappointment to me.

maybe the album in its entirety was a disappointment, but i think the lead single was a great tune

This album never did seem to get the appropriate push, in my humble opinion. Its release just seemed like a very low-key affair.
Then again, their biggest commercial hit, "Falling Down," wasn't a typical song for them (and always left an odd taste in my mouth), so considering they went back to a heavier sound (and Alternative radio has consciously moved away from "active rock" fare), perhaps their time in the spotlight was the right sound at the right time to begin with.
This doesn't explain their struggle on Active Rock radio, though, so in that regard, I'm back to my dropped promotion ball stance.

^I completely agree with you. Their time on Alternative appears to have come and gone. And yes the album did really come out of left-field. Hopefully they don't make the same mistakes next time around.
